Mushroom Filling for Varenyky Pyrohy

Much as in B. C.; in the Ukraine the climate is mild and summer showers are frequent, so the woods are full of edible mushrooms. Each homemaker usually has an abundant supply

1 small onion, minced fine

2 to 3 Tbsps. butter

2 cups diced, cooked mushrooms

Salt and pepper

2 egg yolks

Cook the onion in the butter until tender. Add the mushrooms and cook together for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the mixture from the heat and beat in the egg yolks. Minced dill may be added for flavour, if desired. Cool thoroughly.
